Manwë watched Dinenloth with mild interest. He was glad Iluvatar had prevented him from ending the child's life at birth as well as punishing Yavanna. Iluvatar had seen her as a marvelous gift for Arda and had told him the elf maiden would play a major role in shaping Arda's future.
Right now Dinenloth was riding with Haldir and Glorfindel toward the Redhorn Pass. They were two days away and she had shown hesitance in reaching their destination. She was also plagued by dull headaches and nightmares that fled away forgotten upon waking up.
If she could reach the end of this path and accepted what laid at the end, she would become a great asset and truly a magnificent gift for Arda.
"Dinenloth, let us see how strong you are and why Yavanna calls you her daughter. Show us all in Valinor and Arda who you truly are. We are waiting to see you at your quest's end."
The three elves looked up in the sky to see a flock of birds flying by them. A bird cried out far ahead of the trio, as if beckoning them to hurry and come to their destination.
"Shall we quicken our pace?" Haldir asked Dinenloth.
She gazed upon the looming mountain. Truthfully, she dared not approach any closer, yet the words and warnings of Elrond echoed loudly within her mind. Mustering courage and strength, she tightened her hold of the reins.
"I must see this journey through to the end. Let us go."
Manwë smiled as he kept continual vigil over her.
